how do i'm define the temp of my element
and how do i'm do a loop for every game tick?

its correct?

sim.partProperty(myElement, "temp", -50)

because its dont changing the temp

i'm used allocate

code:

local myElement = elem.allocate("COOLERELEMNEW", "Cooler")

elem.property(myElement, "Name", "Cooler")

elem.property(myElement, "Description", "a Cooler. useful for water steam condense")

elem.property(myElement, "Colour", 0x0000FF)

sim.partProperty(myElement, "Temp", -50)

print("running mod")

Temperature is in Kelvin, so -50C will be 223.15K.

To do something every game tick, use the "Update" property:

local myElement = elem.allocate("COOLERELEMNEW", "COOLER")

myElementUpdate = function(i, x, y) -- example update function
  local currentTemp = sim.partProperty(i, "temp")
  if currentTemp > 223.15 then
    sim.partProperty(i, "temp", currentTemp - 0.5)
  end
end

elem.property(myElement, "Name", "COLR") -- 4-letter name on the element button
elem.property(myElement, "Description", "...")
elem.property(myElement, "Colour", 0x0000FF)
elem.property(myElement, "Temperature", 223.15) -- spawn temperature (in Kelvin)
elem.property(myElement, "MenuVisible", 1)
elem.property(myElement, "MenuSection", elem.SC_SPECIAL)
elem.property(myElement, "Weight", 100)
elem.property(myElement, "Properties", elem.TYPE_SOLID)
elem.property(myElement, "Update", myElementUpdate)

the temp function modding
